Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Who funds the Free Speech Union?
Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

There were plenty who said Bush didn't win a fair election.

What would America's response be if another nation had used that as an excuse to blatantly steal its ships and oil?

The man is an insane fascist. It's time global leaders started telling it how it is.

The first chapter of Jayne Eyre depicts the 14 year old boy John Reed physically assaulting the 10 year old eponymous character. This was Britain in the 19th century, hardly a culture that was imported.
The idea of “imported” violence against women and girls is a deeply comforting fiction - one that allows people to avoid looking at where it actually happens: within our homes and behind closed doors.
The Violence Isn’t Imported. It’s Domestic.
Kemi Badenoch’s attempt to blame violence against women on migrants doesn’t just collapse under scrutiny - it actively distracts us from where the harm really happens, and who is actually responsible.

No it didn’t. Musk rigged the election. He’s all but said so himself today.
America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

⭐️ 50 YEARS AGO TODAY ⭐️

17.4 million people voted “Yes” to Europe…

…the single largest vote for any single proposition in the UK’s history.

This 17.4M was from a pop at the time of just 56M - and represented a massive 67% of all votes cast.

Let’s do it again. #RejoinEU

I decided to become a journalist aged fifteen after reading ‘1984’ and being appalled at the thought that governments could rewrite history. Orwell knew the USSR did it. Now China pretends the Tiananmen massacre didn’t happen. It did. I was there, and saw it for myself.
